| Children's
Rides / Kiddie Rides |
These
types of rides include nearly any amusement ride
made for kids. When shopping for children's rides
it's always good to consider a variety of types
of movement depending on what you might already have
in use. Too many rides with the same basic movement/motion
won't have your guests wanting to stay and experience
everything you have to offer. Give them a reason
to stay by having a good mix. Depending on your
market
you
may
also
want
to
consider
rides
that accommodate adults as well. Most are great
for use at Family Entertainment Centers.

| Himalaya & Musik
Rides |
This
category includes himalaya, musik express, matterhorn
and flying bobs type rides. These are "flat
rides" that
operate at relatively high speed in a circular
pattern with a series of hills and dips along the
way.
Typically
himalaya
and musik
express rides have a set of 3 hills and 3 dips
in the track on which the cars ride along the track.
The matterhorn and flying bob type rides have
cars
which
are "suspended"
at the front and back of the vehicle allowing them
to swing outwards as they pick up speed and move
up and down 2 hills and 2 dips in a "bob sled" type
fashion.
Both types are excellent rides with broad family
appeal.
